A more affordable exercise bike that can stream Peloton workouts and more, we found out if the Bowflex C7 Bike is too good to be true.
Netflix sessions and regular exercise rarely go hand in hand, but the Bowflex C7 Bike manages to marry the two in a way that will allow riders to binge watch while burning calories.
So, whether you’re just looking to get moving or are a more experienced cyclist wanting several options when it comes to indoor riding, the Bowflex C7 bike has something to suit all users. Combine this with the fact you have to set up an account on the JRNY app, completing a 14 minute preliminary fitness test after inputting data like your age and height, and the time between the bike being delivered and you being able to ride it can reach the two hour mark.
You can easily adjust the height of the seat and handlebars by loosening and tightening them using relevant levers attached to the frame, and the same applies for how far forward or backward you want the saddle. The handlebars and saddle are modeled on a racing bike to provide a more realistic cycling experience, and the dual-functioning pedals offer both toe cages and SPD clips so you can ride efficiently regardless of whether or not you own a pair of cycling shoes.
The 40lb flywheel offers an incredibly smooth pedaling action and you can adjust the difficulty of your ride by selecting from 100 different magnetic resistance levels using a twisting knob on the bike’s frame. While many exercise bikes on the market have a basic LED monitor, and smart bikes like the Echelon Connect EX3 rely on linking with a phone or tablet for their display, the Bowflex C7 Bike has a built-in 7in touchscreen. There’s no escaping the fact that this is rather small, especially compared to the 21.5in display of the Peloton Bike, and you can’t tilt it up or down, to suit your seating position.
One feature that we definitely appreciated when cramming in active recovery sessions was the ability to complete programs or just ride while watching Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ or Hulu. All the metrics you need are displayed in a thin bar that you can drag around the screen so it’s not in the way, letting us catch up on our favorite series while spinning our wheels.
We found that, unlike other machines we’ve tried, the difficulty labels were accurate; beginner sessions got our blood pumping without leaving us breathless, while advanced classes successfully reduced us to a sweaty mess. There was also a good range of durations, so you can find a quick 15 minute workout if you’re looking to fit some fitness into a hectic schedule.
